T-Bob Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Yup it's early in the season to start this fred but, hell, someone should have started it as soon as the last cobble was rolled over last year. I'm hoping this year will be filth. Boonan is back, Sparticus is reigning in almost everything, Thor is fit and running out of contract. OPQS have talent out of their ears, which Glibert will turn up, will Costa burn the curse of the hoops and win something... anything, will dazzlng Dan Martin return for another 1-2 sucker punch, what will the fearsome 4 of Van Marcke / Terpstra / Van Avermaet / stybar pul out, what will the new M-SR route throw up (not cav' that's for sure), will sky do bugger all once again despite the budget of a small south american country? 3 Predictions:- Sky won't rule- Glibert isn't the man he was (what ever that was)- Sagan won't win a 'big' one. He's too talented across the board and not ready. Contradiction? That the classics... And finally, Can' for Flanders, tommy for Roubaix. (hopefully) you can't mess with the things that just are meant 'to be'. Finally, if you love the hard races, the climbs, the cobbles, pave, the sh*tty weather, the pain the beauty and the horror then, just for 1 moment, imagine what might happen if Spartacus and Boonan rolled onto the velodrome together...

Frosty Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Can't wait - hopefully SuperSport come to the party and we can see (some of) the classics LIVE
TALUS Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Go Spartacus, Go Sagan. Go REAL cycling for real hard men.

Andrew Steer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Anyone have any idea how we can push SS to show Flanders... it's just as awesome as Roubaix!Would happily trade one Flanders viewing for 64 x Tour of Oman/California's etc Gandalf 1
jcza Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Paris-Nice? Stage race, Classics are one day races.
Andrew Steer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 You guys think our boy Impey will feature? Not likely, best bet would be MSR, but he would need to crack the breakaway and that takes a bit of doing.
